overset0Cl 2+6 NaOH longrightarrow Na overset+5ClO 3+5 Na overset-1Cl + 3 H 2 O Here, O.N. of Cl increases from O in Cl 2 to +5 in NaClO 3 and decreases to -1 in NaCl, therefore, Cl gets both oxidised and reduced.

Q. In the reaction, $3 C l_{2} + 6 N a O H \to N a Cl O_{3} + 5 N a Cl + 3 H_{2} O$ the element which loses as well as gains electrons is

Na

O

Cl

none of these

$C 0 l_{2} + 6 N a O H ⟶ N a Cl + 5 O_{3} + 5 N a Cl - 1 + 3 H_{2} O$
Here, O.N. of $Cl$ increases from $O$ in $C l_{2}$ to $+ 5$ in $N a Cl O_{3}$ and decreases to $- 1$ in $N a Cl$ , therefore, $Cl$ gets both oxidised and reduced.

Q. In the reaction, 3Cl2​+6NaOH→NaClO3​+5NaCl+3H2​O the element which loses as well as gains electrons is

Na

O

Cl

none of these

C0l2​+6NaOH⟶NaCl+5O3​+5NaCl−1+3H2​O Here, O.N. of Cl increases from O in Cl2​ to +5 in NaClO3​ and decreases to −1 in NaCl, therefore, Cl gets both oxidised and reduced.

Q. In the reaction, $3 C l_{2} + 6 N a O H \to N a Cl O_{3} + 5 N a Cl + 3 H_{2} O$ the element which loses as well as gains electrons is

$C 0 l_{2} + 6 N a O H ⟶ N a Cl + 5 O_{3} + 5 N a Cl - 1 + 3 H_{2} O$
Here, O.N. of $Cl$ increases from $O$ in $C l_{2}$ to $+ 5$ in $N a Cl O_{3}$ and decreases to $- 1$ in $N a Cl$ , therefore, $Cl$ gets both oxidised and reduced.
